This is why Grace from Clean Bandit’s T-shirt was blurred out during Manchester coverage

BBC One viewers were confused to see Grace Chatto from Clean Bandit‘s T-shirt blurred out during yesterday’s One Love Manchester coverage.

The electro group behind Number One hits ‘Rather Be’, ‘Rockabye’ and ‘Symphony’ didn’t perform at Ariana Grande’s Manchester concert, but they paid tribute to the city’s people in a video package shown on TV between sets.

A slogan on Chatto’s T-shirt was pixellated out, leading some viewers to presume it was a swear word. However, it turns out that her T-shirt actually contained the word CORBYN with a Nike-style tick. The BBC presumably decided that to have shown the Labour leader’s name during the concert would have threatened its political impartiality.
